Machine Learning
Tonight I was doing laundry while my husband was watching television in the other room. I am used to hearing words like military, marcupial, or wooly mammoth coming from his preferred viewing channels -- History, Discovery, or PBS. It took me a few minutes to realize what I was hearing sounded way too familiar to my world. Words like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and semantic technology came wafting through the house. I soon discovered the program was a NOVA feature, "Smartest Machine on Earth" on our local PBS channel.
